appointment to participate

Current
estimates are that 300 million computers monitors and televisions become
obsolete each year and end up being either recycled, landfilled, dumped on
the side of the road or stored. These items contain toxic and
hazardous materials as well as precious metals, such as gold, silver and
platinum and represent excellent opportunities for positive environmental
impact if disposed of properly. Recycling, and/or reusing, instead
of other disposal methods, helps save natural resources, reduce energy
consumption in manufacturing of new products and has less negative
environmental impact than mining for the metals used.

It
is for these reasons that we encourage our citizens to hold their
computers for our special collection events rather than throwing them into
the landfill.

The
links below will give you access to some of the recycling programs already
in place nationally by electronics manufacturers. We continue to
work locally to provide as many recycling/reuse opportunities as possible.
